FORMLIB
=======

[](#formlib)

Yet another PHP library for creating and processing HTML forms (WIP).

How it's different?
-------------------

[](#how-its-different)

- It is intended for quick, configuration driven creation of contact forms that are sent by email. It is not intended for creating editing forms for database records.
- Forms can either be defined by YAML configuration files (or by associative PHP arrays or any other format that can be turned into a PHP array) or programmatically using a fluent interface.
- Forms are rendered either in a customizable generic way or by replacing the form elements in an HTML template containing the whole form.
- Forms are processed using FormProcessors. Currently there is only a FormProcessor that sends the form by email using SwiftMailer but you can easily add your own form processor.
- Form elements are created using DOM and are returned as DOM objects. This way, Formlib does not depend on a particular templating system but it is possible to alter the form and its elements after creation by manipulation the DOM, e.g. by adding and altering attributes.

Dependencies
------------

[](#dependencies)

- [symfony/yaml](https://github.com/symfony/yaml)
- SwiftMailer
- [HtmlPageDom](https://github.com/wasinger/htmlpagedom) for DOM manipulation which in turn builds upon [Symfony's DomCrawler](https://github.com/symfony/DomCrawler) component

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Formlib is registered on packagist.org so it can be installed using composer:

require: "wa72/formlib": "dev-master"

Usage
-----
